The FCC is considering a plan to use a Russian satellite system, GLONASS, to handle the U.S emergency 911 system. The plan was developed by a group of wireless carriers and public safety organizations and is, of course, raising security concerns.
“In view of the threat posed to the world by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, it cannot be seriously considered that the U.S. would rely on a system in that dictator’s control for its wireless 911 location capability,” states Rep. Mike Rogers,(R-AL) who is chairman of the Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces.

What happened to the USA’s satellite system? Did Obama take it over also? So many questions onto the why our govt does what it does.
so stupd I have nothing to sat.
We Americans need to create our own help system like we did before we had 911. We can’t rely on the government! I grew up in a small town in the 1950-1970’s we help d each other! That is what we need to do! Get to know how ur neighbors and help each other out!
This has to be a hoax. How can anyone possibly be that SHORTSIGHTED!?!?!?!
!!!!
That is one way of taking our valuable 911 away from the public.
Not a good idea !
KMA–and I don’t mean keep me advised.
Now how stupid is that…..
This is all fine and dandy but all my neighbors seem to be illegal immigrants now ! Must admit they seem safer than thugs at this point !
